Don't know the card but this is how you get above 9.

Use the cards that give you bonus resources
Use the trading post

Like the two things you said you can't do are exactly those things

The trading post has an option to spend 9 mana and you get 1 max so next turn you will have 10. Do it again and you get 11.

Or you can use the factionless or some faction cards that give you additional mana like wealthy nobels or brings life by passing by or growth. There are even cards that reduce the cost of others.

How do you play The Calamity in Death Trap? There are no cards that give you bonus to resources and the 9 cost thing in the trading post doesn't seem to push you over 10.

If you get the Calamity in your hand, you'll want to boost your resources up to 11 ahead of time in preparation. Since you have to use the 9 cost thing once to actually do that, your best bet is to first play the book that wipes the board after 3 turns. Your opponent will be less likely to play character cards on turn 2 or 3 of the book being out, and that's when you have your window to spend 9 resources without lagging behind in the arms race.

There doesn't seem to be a way to stop missions, they should've come with failstates or something.

The new cards are sick. I looked up Flame Dawn first. They get even more removal, charging dudes and people immune to non-combat damage, and it all seemed kind of overpowered. But hey, it turns out everyone* got new, game-winning cards so it evens out. Except Sleepers, but they were hella strong anyway.

Yeah most of the campaigns have you use your own decks after the first couple of missions. I think they also give you their deck after the first couple of missions or at the end.

They noticed it and fixed the wording. In any case, it should stop instant death spells and damage spells. It probably doesn't stop sacrifices, but that's still pretty good.

From playing the game a (short) while, am I right in assuming that this is about a hundred times harder to build a decent (or even mediocre) deck in than Hearthstone, for either constructed or arena?

I sucked at Hearthstone so royally I got discouraged and quit playing entirely; remembering that a little belatedly, in the case of this game :saddowns:

There are free decks that refresh every week or so that you can use as a guide. They are made from the devs watching the current popular decks so they normally are quite good or just gimmicky as gently caress.

Some of the decks really write themselves.

Grab all your Swarmers and put them in a deck. Bing gimmick Deck.
Grab all your One of Many Warpath unlimited cards put them in a deck with beefy guys. Bam powerhouse deck.
Grab all the guys with charge and bounce cards from Red put them in a deck. Boom rush deck

You could literally make an entire deck with 2-4 cards.
These three commanders: Secluded constructor, Shrapnel launcher, Genesis Aletia. Then 40 Unending Drones.
These three commanders: Flame Dawn Fanatic, Flame Dawn Fanatic, Flame Dawn Fanatic. Then 40 Flame Dawn Aspirant.

Or you could learn all the cards and get better by playing Rift Runs(Draft) that basically pay for themselves and give straight card rewards. They are also really fun.

If you had only zombies, all your dead zombies give your zombies more power. The other cards just make you lose zombies faster.

Infinity Wars is the best online CCG on this side of the galaxy. Just for the "simultaneous turns" feature they should give an Oscar statue to IW devs.
And don't let me start about the gorgeous card animated graphics.....
I just opened my preordered Order boosters, got lots of cool cards, can't wait to use'em all in ranked.

There's a sleeper card called Avaraach has Risen, or something like that, it's a 12 cost card that causes both players graveyards to be put into your support zone. It's amazing to pull off.

So in Order there' this new spell that lets you tag two dudes, and they merge into one dude if they fight. I'm not sure if the new guy is supposed to have the special abilities from one, but I think I've seen that happen before. Cue my Firestarter Coyle crashing into my opponent's Divinedemonic Coyle.

I just did a really awesome Rift run with a deck that was mostly descendants. Of course, this is mostly because I got a bunch of tanky as hell cards and two mortars for commanders.

You need a few things to turn them into power houses.

Yuan shi who for 4 mana can do 4 damage to everyone anywhere and gets exhausted for a turn
The dude that gives 4 health to everyone of your guys for 3 mana and gets exhausted for a turn
And if you can swing it, there is another guy who makes sure your defensive zone cycles and then everyone gets healed for 2 at the very end

Bonus for every chef which heals everything except for their selves for 1.

People have about 4 or 5 turns to kill you before you forget what you are doing and wall up.

I'm liking this game too and dig the sleepers and the Genesis guys. I like exile too but they seem less capable than the other factions. I hey they you are supposed to use discards for exile to work but it seems that the benefits for going through the process just aren't they great. A couple resources cheaper than normal is nice but so are the 3 turns to get the drat thing out and fighting.
